Get involved: I’m a Researcher
Your Know-how Matters
Join our peer-to-peer educational webinar program to share your hard-won experience with fellow researchers, make a real impact on the scientific community, and build a visible portfolio of your expertise.
Most of the knowledge that determines whether experiments work well never makes it into papers or protocols. That includes the experience, judgment calls, technique details, troubleshooting instincts, and lessons you’ve learned through trial and error. When researchers move labs or leave the bench, we lose that knowledge.
Bitesize Bio exists to preserve and pass on this real-world scientific craft, organized around seven core pillars that define what “good science in the real world” actually requires. Apply now using the button below.
The Seven Pillars of Bitesize Bio’s Wisdom
Technical Skills
Because understanding techniques and the intricacies of performing them enables scientists to get better, more reproducible results more efficiently
Scientific Fundamentals
Because we all know how problems like p-hacking and the reproducibility crisis are affecting progress—rigorous scientific method is critical
Communicating Science
Because understanding and sharing scientific findings are the foundation on which scientific progress is built
Personal Development and Wellbeing
Because a happy scientist is a productive scientist
Mentoring and Lab Management
Because good mentors mould good scientists
Inspiration
Because it’s easy to forget why we’re doing what we’re doing—seeing the bigger picture helps you stay excited about your work
Careers and Funding
Because choosing the right path maximizes each individual’s contribution to science—and everyone needs to eat, right?
Who We’re Looking For
We work with postdocs, PhD researchers, technicians, lab managers, and other research professionals with substantial experience gained through real decision-making and problem-solving, aligned to one of our seven pillars. You don’t need to be senior or widely known, but you do need knowledge earned through doing the work.
Before proposing a session, we ask contributors to consider one simple question:
What could you share that would genuinely help a postdoc who is currently struggling with the technique, decision, or area you know well?
If your topic would help a fellow scientist, it belongs here. Examples of successful past speakers include:
What an Educational Webinar is Not
An educational webinar is not a research seminar or conference. We’re not looking for a talk about your findings, but for the know-how behind them. That includes the methods, techniques, and judgment calls that got you there (or tripped you up along the way). Your own research is welcome as a worked example, but not as the subject.
It’s also not a sales presentation with an educational veneer. While our sponsored webinars may include more product-focused content, educational webinars focus on the science, thinking, and development as a scientist, not products or services.
You’re welcome to mention products, tools, or approaches you genuinely use and have opinions about (including stating preferences) as long as they serve an educational point. What matters is that the session stands on its own as genuinely useful to scientists, regardless of whether they ever use the product mentioned.
We only provide attendee leads for sponsored webinars, not educational webinars. If you’re interested in running a product-led or promotional webinar, we’re happy to explore that separately. Contact our sales team here.
How it Works
You deliver a focused 25-30 minute live broadcast aligned with one or more of the seven pillars. We host the live event, then publish the on-demand recording on Bitesize Bio. Your contribution becomes a permanent educational resource used by working scientists worldwide.
